Due to health protocols NJPW is pulling six wrestlers from in-ring action due to one coming down with a high tempreture.
Everyone who was in the match between Toru Yano, Satoshi Kojima and Tomoaki Honma versus Minoru Suzuki, Taichi and TAKA Michinoku on last night’s event have been removed from this evening’s New Year’s Golden Series card.
“In accordance with COVID-19 protocols, and out of an abundance of caution, the wrestler, and all six participants in yesterday’s match, have been removed from this evening’s New Year’s Golden Series night two card,” stated the promotion.
Fans who attend tonight’s show will be seeing:

Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi & Togi Makabe vs Tetsuya Naito, SANADA & Shingo Takagi instead of Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI & YOH vs EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, Dick Togo & SHO.
The event will be available on VOD on New Japan World and it is not clear if these changes will carry through the other cards on the Golden Series tour.
